SCRIPTURE

"then will I also walk contrary unto you; and I will smite you, even I, seven times for your sins." — Leviticus 26:24 (ASV)

Then will I also walk contrary unto you. —By their increased hostility to God, they simply increase their calamities, since He whom they are defying now also assumes a hostile attitude towards those who are defiant.

And will punish you yet. —Better, and I also will smite you. (See Leviticus 26:28.)
